Comparative Analysis Of The Antimicrobial Strength Of Five Most Common Antibiotics Used In Research Clinic Umudike:- Owuamalam, Chinonye G
Abstract
Compaq Ive ^S1S 0 e antimicrobial strength offive
antibiotics commonly used in a ion oot rop Research Institute clinic was
investigated. The antibiotics were Gentamicin, Chloramphenicol, Ciprofloxacin,
Tetracycline and Penicillin. The commercially prepared antibiotics discs were
tested against pure cultures of Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli,
Staphylococcus aureus and Salmonella sp. The result obtained showed that
ciprofloxacin gave a high sensitivity against Staphylococcus aureus (41mm).
Penicillin showed sensitivity against Staphylococcus aureus (33mm).
Tetracycline gave high sensitivity against Escherichia coli (29mm). No organism
showed resistance to Chloramphenicol, Salmonella sp was resistant to
Gentamicin, Tetracycline, Penicillin and Ciprofloxacin. Pseudomonas aeruginosa
was resistant to Penicillin and Ciprofloxacin and most sensitive to Gentamicin
(17mm). Of all these antibiotics, Gentamicin, chloramphenicol, Tetracycline,
Penicillin and Ciprofloxacin have been found to be effective in treating these
bacteria and other related infections. They can therefore be used singly or in
combination for better result.
